90 Mount Charlie Road, Riddells Creek VIC 3431

Prestigiously positioned at the base of Mount Charlie just minutes from the township of Riddells Creek, this magical rural retreat offers total seclusion in one of the area's most stunning homes. Idyllically nestled amongst private native gardens on 10.5 ha where open spaces complement a heated swimming pool, tennis court, sheds and pastures.

The mudbrick residence, designed by esteemed architect Alistair Knox in 1974, has been fastidiously restored to honour its origins yet includes every modern convenience with high end appointments and quality craftsmanship.

This stylish home with wide verandas all round provides a wonderful family retreat. With soaring, limed timber lined ceilings, a clever blend of rustic iron bark timbers and exposed Oregon beams, white washed mudbrick walls and slate floors, the home retains all the character and warmth of its origin with stunning modern finishes. Expansive windows and doors throughout bring the outside into an interior offering a variety of carefully considered spaces. The main bedroom suite is spacious and enjoys a large walk-in robe. Located at one end of the house, off the formal lounge with open fire place, this parents retreat is private and secluded.

The country kitchen showcases an AGA stove and wood fired boiler in the adjoining spacious meals area. With underfloor heating, the further 3 bedrooms, all with external access and built-in robes, access two bathrooms. A large lounge and dining room with open fire place overlooks the tennis court and swimming pool. A fully fitted separate studio provides a wonderful home office, artist studio or fifth bedroom if required.
